This really isn't so at all. For their entry to be a valid/correct one, scalpers need the price to move (albeit not far) in "their direction"...
Call me pedantic, but I think that's an "illustration" or an "example" of edge, rather than a "definition" of it.
"Edge" is one of those words which traders use with slightly variable meanings, leading to some confusion and talking at cross purposes, in forum...
It's really not quite as simple as that - you may be overlooking stop-losses (when they're honoured).
That's how they clean out their customers' (I nearly said "victims' ") accounts. These are counterparty market-makers, not genuine brokers:...
Lol, I'll have to start calling you "Mr. Statistically Significant". :cool: :) And vice-versa, from me: we can perhaps agree that these are the...
This is definitely right. It's exactly the sort of wild, roaring, furry beast that can suddenly decide to turn on you for no apparent reason and...
First, they don't have to be mutually exclusive, and many people use both. Secondly, please excuse my mentioning that it's rather a vague...
I think this is quite right, and as you say it explains why people still get something valuable out of his books: the methods he illustrates in...
Another (similar, closely related, only slightly different) method is to do essentially the same thing, but waiting for the market to go back...
You don't need to know, and have (like some others) become successful without him. I'm sure you still have a good and reliable impression of the...

If it helps, I included in this post a list of the books that most helped me in becoming a profitable trader (they may or may not be the same ones...
Unfortunately, you're not "just" saying that, at all: if you were "just" saying that, the number of people objecting to your posts wouldn't...
That was perhaps taking the "baby"pips part somewhat too literally? But congratulations anyway. It is, but unfortunately combined with a wealth...
You normally see people saying "Bloomberg sucks", but maybe it sucks and blows (I had a vacuum cleaner like that, once)? [IMG]
If it says "long only" and is limited for its "backtesting" only to a steadily rising market, it might only lose the sleeves and collar, not the...
That might do ok, in a fairly steadily rising market? How much per year, on average (over the same period as the one tested), would you have...
They are indeed. While I was posting in the thread (i.e. until a couple of days ago), I got the usual messages from a few of the others here who...
My understanding, gleaned from a wide variety of sources, is that the DB11 is (a) probably the best Aston ever made, and (b) probably also going...
